Ah yes. Went to the bookstore last night and snapped up a copy of Garth Nix's Abhorsen. Signed. Just sitting on the shelf with its sticker trying to fall off and hide. *glee

Very cool! Yeah, I've heard the same thing about wandering authors defacing their own books. I am reminded by a 100 year old book collecting Edgar Allen Poe's writings that I bought: it had a pressed maple leaf and a newspaper clipping regarding the selling off of some of Poe's possessions, what few he had when he died.

I find signed copies like that occasionally. Most of my Jack Whyte books are signed-- that guy must get around.

On my trip to France in 2000, I found a signed copy of The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay in the terminal at Pearson Int'l Airport in Toronto.
